FINAL
Hey, guys. I’m Julie, Jess’ sister. I’ve contributed to the site a few times before, mainly with some guest spots on the podcast. Just like last year, for the month of June, I’ll be representing FTS in the Cinefessions Summer Screams Challenge.
All month I’ll be indulging in movies from the horror and sci-fi genres. Which happens to be a perfect fit for me because I am a huge horror fan. I will also try to watch a fair amount of sci-fi, but expect my list to be horror heavy. Each week will have a different theme, with a featured film. There is also a 30 film checklist to be completed throughout the month, with an optional list included as well. I don’t have to stick with the theme and I can include TV shows on my list. There is a whole scoring system that you can check out at Cinefessions. This list will be updated daily, so keep coming back to see my list grow.
